De mensen van Geuzenhof: Celebrating Social & Green Heritage at Arcam in Amsterdam

This exhibition at Arcam explores the social and green heritage of the nearly 100-year-old Geuzenhof housing complex in Amsterdam-West. It highlights the pioneers, residents, and experts involved in creating a future-proof neighborhood, drawing inspiration from historical insights for contemporary issues in sustainable building and community living.

The exhibition 'De mensen van Geuzenhof' at Arcam delves into the social and green legacy of the Geuzenhof housing complex, a project from June 1935 in Amsterdam-West. This exhibition complements the web publication 'Het verhaal van Geuzenhof' by focusing on the individuals who have shaped and continue to sustain the complex's heritage. It addresses the enduring question of how to build both green and socially inclusive spaces, a challenge relevant today. The narrative centers on key figures like contractor Huibert van Saane, architect Jacob Dunnebier, and garden architect Mien Ruys, who were pioneers in their fields. It also highlights the contributions of urban planners Cornelis van Eesteren and Jakoba Mulder, industrial designer Piet Zwart, and discusses their roles in realizing this groundbreaking project. Furthermore, the exhibition shines a light on the residents and other individuals who have actively worked to make the social and green heritage of Geuzenhof future-proof, both historically and in the present day. The core themes revolve around productive landscape creation, urban expansion, socio-green building experiments, the preservation of green spaces and architectural heritage, and the active participation of residents across the past, present, and future.
